Romiyim (Romans) 6
6
1What, then, shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, to let favour increase?
2Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin#See Rom. 8:13; Col. 3:3; 1Pe. 2:24 still live in it?
3Or do you not know that as many of us as were immersed into Messiah יהושע were immersed into His death?
4We were therefore buried with Him through immersion into death, that as Messiah was raised from the dead by the esteem of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life.
5For if we have come to be grown together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also of the resurrection,
6knowing this, that our old man was impaled with Him, so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, to serve sin no longer.
7For he who has died has been made right from sin.
8And if we died with Messiah, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9knowing that Messiah, having been raised from the dead, dies no more – death no longer rules over Him.
10For in that He died, He died to sin once for all; but in that He lives, He lives to Elohim.
11So you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to Elohim in Messiah יהושע our Master.
12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires,
13neither present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to Elohim as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to Elohim.
14For sin shall not rule over you,#See Gen. 4:7 for you are not under the law but under favour.
15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Torah but under favour? Let it not be!
16Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, you are servants of the one whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17But thanks to Elohim that you were servants of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18And having been set free from sin, you became servants of righteousness.
19I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. For even as you did present your members as servants of uncleanness, and of lawlessness resulting in lawlessness, so now present your members as servants of righteousness resulting in set-apartness.
20For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21What fruit, therefore, were you having then, over which you are now ashamed? For the end thereof is death.
22But now, having been set free from sin, and having become servants of Elohim, you have your fruit resulting in set-apartness, and the end, everlasting life.
23For the wages of sin is death,#See Rom. 8:13 but the favourable gift of Elohim is everlasting life in Messiah יהושע our Master.

Sin’s Power Is Broken
1Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? 2Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? 4For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.
5Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. 6We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. 7For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. 8And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. 9We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. 10When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. 11So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.
12Do not let sin control the way you live;#6:12 Or Do not let sin reign in your body, which is subject to death. do not give in to sinful desires. 13Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. 14Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
15Well then, since God’s grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not! 16Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. 17Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you. 18Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living.
19Because of the weakness of your human nature, I am using the illustration of slavery to help you understand all this. Previously, you let yourselves be slaves to impurity and lawlessness, which led ever deeper into sin. Now you must give yourselves to be slaves to righteous living so that you will become holy.
20When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the obligation to do right. 21And what was the result? You are now ashamed of the things you used to do, things that end in eternal doom. 22But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life. 23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
